Inside the Xuan Wu Mansion.
After listening to Jin Mucong's words, his mother-in-law, Mulan, and Shen Lang were stunned.
Fat Otaku was always like a child.
No matter what confidential matters he was involved in, he would be drowsy and scared out of his wits.
But they didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Shen Lang said, "Fatty, have you thought it through?"
Jin Mucong nodded vigorously. "I've been thinking about it for two days. Although I was full of fear and panic at the beginning, I made the same decision in the end."
Su Peipei's eyes turned red.
Although she often beat and scolded Jin Mucong, he was still her only son.
But after all, he was her only son. How could she not love him?
Moreover, after Shen Lang entered the Xuan Wu Mansion, he almost made up for all of Jin Mucong's shortcomings. He became a good heir.
He was a very obedient child who never caused trouble and was so obedient. He was completely different from those annoying children outside.
Now that her son was going to leave and enter the circle of trouble in the capital, how could she not be worried and sad?
Her son had never left her side before.
But she also knew in her heart that boys had to go out and experience to grow up. Eagles had to leave their parents' side to soar.
…
Only Shen Lang and Jin Mucong were left in the study.
"Brother-in-law, you weren't here these days. I really want to know the plot of 'Journey to the West', so I wrote tens of thousands of words myself. Help me take a look."
Shen Lang took the manuscript.
He spent about half an hour reading it.
He was very surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Fat Otaku's mood was very awesome when writing a book. He was clearly beating up a monster, but it made him angry. If that monster didn't die, he would be letting down the heavens and earth.
He was very good at attracting hatred.
Moreover, he knew how to write a book interconnected.
For example, after beating up a little fairy, a big fairy would come. After beating up the big fairy, suddenly an immortal would come. After beating up this immortal, even the Jade Emperor would be alarmed.
This scene was very familiar.
It was very much like the fantasy of the future. The enemy was getting bigger and bigger, and the conspiracy theories came one after another.
But this is not suitable for Journey to the West.
In Journey to the West, one should know when to stop. Even if the demons had a backer, they would stop fighting with the immortals in the sky. They would not continue to fight, and they would also stop with the conspiracy theories.
Fat Otaku had only written tens of thousands of words, and he had already exposed the Jade Emperor.
It was very beautiful.
But it also twisted the main plot.
If he were to write like this, he would have to go against the Jade Emperor again. He might even cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace again.
After 100,000 words, Sun Wukong would have destroyed the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Palace.
Moreover, the story of the Journey to the West was a bit like a TV series at the beginning of the journey.
He kept encountering new monsters and new difficulties, but it was soon over.
In the end, Jin Mucong had written tens of thousands of words, and he was still writing about one incident at a time. Furthermore, the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, and he had long since deviated from the main line of seeking the Buddhist scriptures.
"What do you think? Brother-in-law? " Jin Mucong was extremely nervous, just like a new author who had just finished writing a book and handed it over to the editor.
"After entering the Imperial College, I plan to write a book to open up the scene. I will use this Journey to the West." Jin Mucong said, "I must become famous in the entire Imperial College. Brother-in-law, do you mind if I use the pen name of Langling Xiaoxiao Sheng?"
Shen Lang said, "Fatty, you wrote very well."
Fat Otaku was overjoyed.
"But …" Shen Lang said, "You are not suitable to write Journey to the West. Your writing style is too intense, the hatred is too fierce, and the emotions are too intense."
Jin Mucong was taken aback. "This … isn't this good?"
"Okay." Shen Lang said, "Let me introduce another book to you. I will read 60,000 words to you first. You don't have to copy, just listen."
"Okay, okay …" Jin Mucong said.
Shen Lang began to read, "Chapter 1, The Fallen Genius."
"Combat Power, 3rd Dan!"
Looking at the dazzling words on the Magic Test Tablet, the young man was expressionless, but there was a touch of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth. He clenched his fists so hard that his slightly sharp nails pierced deep into his palms, bringing bursts of unbearable pain!
That's right!
Battle Through the Heavens appeared out of nowhere.
Of course, this world only had inner force and true qi, there was no battle energy.
Moreover, the martial arts in this world were far less advanced than in Battle Through the Heavens.
But it was still a martial arts world, there were many things that were familiar and immersive.
Shen Lang's words were clear, and he read quickly.
Not only was Kaneki Satoshi mesmerized, he was practically crazy.
Especially when he heard that Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement, his immersive feeling was too strong.
His blood was boiling, and he clenched his fists, imagining himself as Xiao Yan.
So, the saying "Don't bully the young for being poor" came from here?
Brother-in-law often said this.
After a few hours, Shen Lang finally finished reading the sixty thousand words of the first episode of Battle Through the Heavens.
Jin Mucong's eyes were green.
Oh my god?
This story is too exciting, too good, too exciting.
I want to cry.
Why did God let me, Jin Mucong, hear such a good story.
In terms of literary attainments, Journey to the West was far superior.
But in terms of immersive feeling and story impact, Battle Through the Heavens was super strong.
Just like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was more classic than Searching for Qin, they couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
But when the author read Searching for Qin, it was like opening the door to a new world. He couldn't sleep, marveling that there was such a good book in this world. The degree of obsession was even higher than Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Because of the impact of various desires, Searching for Qin surpassed Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and it was more enjoyable.
Of course, Fighting Through the Heavens was more enjoyable.
Shen Lang: "Fatty, you have to think about it carefully. Are you sure you want to write Battle Through the Heavens when you enter the Imperial College?"
Jin Mucong: "I must write it. Even if I don't do anything else in this life, I will write this book."
Shen Lang: "After you write this book, the students in the Imperial College will crazily read it while scolding you that it is bad and has no literary value. They will look down on you and even treat you as the shame of the Imperial College."
"Can I become famous?" Jin Mucong asked.
Shen Lang: "Yes, and it will definitely become famous. It will even be popular in the Imperial College and the Imperial College. Youths under twenty will be caught in one net. But your reputation might not be good. People will scold you for writing a poisonous book. "
"Hahahaha …" Jin Mucong: "It's good to be famous. It's even better if I can find a wife. Can I make friends?"
Shen Lang: "Yes, but the people I will meet will be those ignorant and incompetent students. Those top scholars who can pass the imperial exams will not be associated with you."
"That's good. I am also a bad student." Jin Mucong: "Brother-in-law, quickly write out the story outline and the characters. I will think about it on the way to the capital. Once I reach the Imperial College, I will write it immediately."
So, Shen Lang wrote quickly.
According to the AI's refinement, he wrote out the first one million words of the story outline and the characters.
A total of more than 20,000 words.
After Kaneki Satoshi received these outlines, he felt as if he had just received a peerless secret manual like the Nine Yin Manual.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law. You are so good to me."
"Just you wait. I will not embarrass you. I will definitely become famous."
Then, Jin Mucong said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, when my new book is published, can I change the title to Jin X Mei's Battle Through the Heavens?"
F … F * ck!
Shen Lang's scalp was about to explode. Are you Jin Mucong that good?
You shouldn't be freeloading like this.
"What do you think?" Shen Lang said angrily.
Jin Mucong: "Can you call it Battle Through the Heavens' Endless Wind and Moon?"
Shen Lang: "You, don't tell me you want to add some meat to it?"
Jin Mucong nodded: "There are a lot of beauties in it. It would be a pity not to add them."
Shen Lang: "You can add them, but not too much. You can't ruin the story of the book."
Throughout the night, Kaneki Satoshi and Shen Lang discussed the new book that he was going to write.
He was getting more and more excited and looking forward to it. He was no longer afraid.
Instead, he was looking forward to studying at the Guozijian.
I, Jin Mucong, am going to become famous. I will use my fame to spread throughout the capital.
When that time comes, I will not have to worry about girls liking me.
Everyone knows that the previous book, Endless Wind and Moon was written by my brother-in-law.
But this book is my, Jin Mucong's, work.
The fat otaku fantasized about his book becoming famous, winning the hearts of rich and beautiful girls, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
He fell into a beautiful dream, unable to extricate himself.
His mother-in-law, Su Peipei, wanted to persuade the fat otaku to sleep so that he wouldn't be tired tomorrow. But when she heard Shen Lang and Jin Mucong's heated discussion, she went back to the room to help Jin Mucong pack his luggage.
This fatty was very close to his brother-in-law.
The next day, before dawn.
A mysterious guest came to Xuan Wu Mansion.
An old eunuch and a dozen warriors.
"Greetings, Madam Xuanwu." The old eunuch bowed to Su Peipei.
The old eunuch handed over the Fifth Prince Ning Zheng's visiting card and his handwritten letter.
He was Prince Ning Zheng's trusted eunuch.
"His Royal Highness asked me to bring people to pick up the Crown Prince. After entering the capital, the Crown Prince will also stay in the Fifth Prince's mansion. Every day, His Royal Highness will send people to protect the Crown Prince. Madam, please rest assured." The old eunuch said.
Su Peipei was touched and said happily, "Thank you, His Royal Highness. Please wait for a moment, I will prepare some local specialties for you to bring back to the capital."
The old eunuch said, "You must not, you must not. His Royal Highness will not be happy."
Su Peipei said, "These are just some worthless things. You must accept them."
Next, Su Peipei prepared a few big boxes of gifts.
There was silk, a sword, and of course, there was soap, shampoo, perfume, and facial masks. These were all gifts for Ning Zheng's wife.
Shen Lang went forward and said, "Ah Weng, is His Royal Highness having a hard time recently?"
This was obvious.
Some time ago, when Xuan Wu Mansion was in a desperate situation, Su Peipei borrowed money everywhere and only borrowed 1,000 gold coins, which made her the laughing stock of the nobles.
The Fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, provided timely assistance, pouring out all he had to deliver seventeen thousand gold coins.
At that time, the Monarch was already very unhappy. But thinking that the 17,000 gold coins could not change the overall situation and could save some face for the royal family, they did not pursue the matter.
But after that, Shen Lang took out 800,000 gold coins and smashed it on the Yinyuan Association's head, slapping the whole world in the face.
Of course, the Monarch was furious.
This kind of anger could not be vented on Xuan Wu Mansion, but it could be vented on Ning Zheng.
It seemed that Ning Zheng was very cunning and had colluded with Xuan Wu Mansion long ago.
The people in the capital also talked about it and even made sarcastic remarks.
It was said that Fifth Prince Ning Zheng was unsociable, simple, and upright, but now it seemed that he was also very cunning and scheming.
He knew that Xuan Wu Mansion was going to prosper, so he pretended to send 17,000 gold coins to buy people's hearts.
What he wanted was not small.
Therefore, Ning Zheng was dragged into the water by Shen Lang and had a very difficult time recently.
It was a small matter to be ridiculed by others, but it was a big matter to be suspected by the Monarch.
The Monarch had asked him to scold him several times and punished him to kneel several times.
Even because of a small matter that did not exist, he issued a decree to tear down a pillar in Ning Zheng's government as a warning.
At this time, Ning Zheng should immediately draw a line with Xuan Wu Mansion to show his innocence.
But he learned that the Monarch had ordered Jin Mucong to study in the Imperial College, which meant that he was a hostage.
At this time, he should not have taken action, but he still did.
Because it was his suggestion to let Jin Mucong study in the Imperial College. At that time, it was to protect the only child of the Kim family.
Therefore, Ning Zheng felt that he had to be responsible to the end.
As for avoiding suspicion? It was not necessary.
After hearing Shen Lang's words, the old eunuch said, "Our master has no desires. It doesn't matter if he is looked down upon. He is used to it."
Shen Lang bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. When Shen Lang enters the capital, I will definitely pay a visit to you."
"Well said, well said," the old eunuch said.
Then, the old eunuch hesitated to speak.
Shen Lang said, "Elder, please say it."
The old eunuch said, "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. Wangya Island is windy and rough. Please be careful, Xuanwu."
Shen Lang asked, "Did someone come to the capital to lobby?"
The old eunuch said, "More than one group. Countless forces are drooling over the gold mine on your Wangya Island. They are ready to make a move."
Shen Lang bowed and said, "Thank you for telling me, elder."
After daybreak!
Under everyone's reluctant gaze, Jin Mucong left Xuan Wu Mansion and entered the capital.
In addition to the dozen warriors sent by the Fifth Prince, the Xuan Wu Mansion also sent more than 20 people to protect him.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict sneered and said to the Fifth Prince's trusted eunuch, "Your Fifth Prince is really warm-hearted. It's just that it's almost mealtime. It's too late for him to start cooking now."
The undisguised sarcasm was that the Fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, had colluded with foreign officials to seize the throne.
Shen Lang said to Youyou, "Eunuch, what do you mean by that? Are you cursing the Monarch?"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict shrieked, "Who do you think you are? You are just a son-in-law. What right do you have to speak? "
Shen Lang said, "What do you mean it's almost mealtime? Who's about to eat? Is it the Crown Prince? Now that the Monarch is in his prime, he can live for more than a hundred years. How can you say it's almost mealtime? You are clearly cursing the Monarch. Elder, you need to spread the word. "
The eunuch's face turned green. He shrieked, "I didn't mean it that way. Don't make irresponsible remarks."
Shen Lang said, "Whether you mean it or not, the Monarch has his own judgment. Anyway, I think it's necessary to let the Monarch know."
The eunuch's scalp went numb.
When the Monarch heard this, he certainly wouldn't be sentenced to death, nor would he be dismissed.
But after kneeling for a few hours, he couldn't avoid slapping himself a few times.
And with such a slanderous remark, his opponents in the palace would slander him tenfold, or even a hundred times more.
Trouble really came from the mouth.
He heard that Shen Lang was a poisonous snake. It seemed that it was true.
He would bite when he got the chance.
Next, the eunuch didn't dare to pester him and left with his team.
Jin Mucong shouted in the carriage, "Brother-in-law, I won't embarrass you when I get to the Imperial College. Just wait for the good news of me becoming famous in the capital!"
…
Jin Mucong left.
Mulan felt terrible. Su Peipei, the mother-in-law, was even more muddle-headed.
Sometimes, she would instinctively call him Fatty.
Then, she would pick up a ruler, a feather duster, and other tools to beat Jin Mucong and fall into a daze, crying silently.
The daily life of this family.
Eating, sleeping, bullying Lil Pea.
Now Lil Pea was gone.
It was really unbearable.
Even Shen Lang. The fat otaku Jin Mucong had just left and he already missed him.
Shen Lang looked at his mother-in-law, who was in a daze, and comforted her, "Mother-in-law, don't worry. It won't be long before I personally go to the capital to bring Fatty home."
…
Shen Lang couldn't stay in Xuan Wu Mansion for too long!
The fat otaku Jin Mucong's departure was just an interlude, and the next big show would continue.
The Golden Island strategy was about to reach its climax.
The inescapable net of Wangya Island still needed him, Shen Lang, to pull the net.
After sending the fat otaku away, Shen Lang stayed at home to accompany his wife and mother-in-law for another day.
The next morning, he left home and went to Wangya Island under the protection of Huang Feng.
Mulan really wanted to stay by Shen Lang's side.
But she couldn't. She needed to look after the house and protect Xuan Wu Mansion and the entire fief.
At this time, all four thousand troops were transferred to Wangya Island, leaving only one thousand elites and two thousand civilian soldiers in Xuan Wu Mansion. The task of defense was very heavy.
Shen Lang hugged his wife and kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, her lips, and her chin.
Then he turned and left.
After hesitating for a moment, he came back and kissed the most attractive part of his wife's waist.
…
Qiu Xiao and his two thousand pirates were received like ancestors on Wangya Island.
Xuan Wu Mansion really didn't dare to hurt him.
The barracks on Wangya Island had just been built. Before the soldiers of the Kim family could live in them, they were robbed by Qiu Xiao's pirates.
Qiu Xiao had brought enough food and meat.
But he sent people to Xuan Wu Mansion to ask for it. Not only did he ask for it, but he also directly robbed it.
There had been many conflicts in the past two days.
However, Uncle Xuanwu was able to suppress it every single time. He was simply giving in at every step.
This made Qiu Xiao extremely proud.
Hahahaha!
I have Raging Tide City behind me. I have my father, the Pirate King, behind me.
Not only does the Kim family not dare to hurt me, but they also try to curry favor with me. It's so interesting.
Hahahahaha!
Therefore, Qiu Xiao took an inch and wanted a foot, and his demands became more and more excessive.
For example, he asked Jin Mulan to come to Wangya Island for nothing else but to accompany him and drink a few glasses of wine.
Moreover, his pirate brothers couldn't live without women.
He asked Xuan Wu to immediately transport a batch of women for his pirate brothers to enjoy.
The most important thing was that he, Qiu Xiao, had taken a fancy to one of Count Xuan Wu's women, Mulan's confidant, Jin Jianniang.
For the friendship between Xuan Wu Mansion and Raging Tide City, you must give Jin Jianniang to me as a gift.
These days, Qiu Xiao had been domineering, but he didn't forget his business.
He went everywhere to inquire about the situation of the entire Wangya Island.
The entire Wangya Island was in full swing of construction.
Tens of thousands of people were constantly logging and quarrying.
Not only did they expand the dock, but they had also begun to build a city.
The foundation was almost finished.
The scale of this castle was very large, a full hundred acres.
These days, countless grains and all kinds of supplies were continuously transported to Wangya Island.
At this time, Qiu Xiao was completely sure.
There must be a gold mine on this island, and it was a super big gold mine.
Xuan Wu Mansion had already carried out a strategic relocation, and they couldn't wait to move the entire Count House to Wangya Island.
And these days, although Xuan Wu had repeatedly tolerated, he was determined not to let Qiu Xiao go to the mine.
He had always said that the mine was not yet built, it was very dangerous, and there was nothing to see.
Today!
Qiu Xiao came up with a trick, dressed himself as an absentee, and then sneaked into the mine.
Suddenly, he was completely stunned.
Such a huge mine pit?
Too … too shocking.
The diameter of this mine pit was a full two hundred feet, and it was at least a dozen feet deep.
But at the bottom of the mine pit, there were densely built houses.
Furthermore, the security was extremely tight. Almost every house was guarded by four soldiers.
Any absentee needed to use a number plate to enter and exit.
And in the mine, any absentee was not allowed to talk to each other, and could only immerse themselves in work.
There must be something fishy here. If it was an ordinary iron mine, there would be no need to do so.
So Qiu Xiao gradually ambushed, found an opportunity, knocked down a miner, put on his clothes, took his number plate, and sneaked into the depths of the mine pit.
His heart was full of anticipation.
Was there a gold mine on Wangya Island?
The truth would soon be revealed.
He pushed the door open and walked into a house.
Then …
Qiu Xiao was completely stunned.
There was gold everywhere, the whole room was full of gold.
He saw a scene that he had never seen before.
Countless golden sand, as if piled up into a mountain.
There was a big furnace inside, melting the golden sand and casting it into gold nuggets.
It was really a super big gold nugget, over a hundred kilograms.
And this big gold nugget had piled up into a small hill on the ground next to it.
How much gold was there in this pile?
At least ten thousand kilograms.
Then, Qiu Xiao left this house and entered another one.
There was a river in this house, and dozens of miners were panning for gold.
The so-called panning for gold was to constantly clean the mineral soil until the gold sand was washed out.
Qiu Xiao saw it clearly.
The pile on the left was the mineral soil that had just been excavated.
This … the gold content was too high. This was a super rich mine, an unprecedented rich mine.
Because at a glance, one could clearly see the dazzling golden sand.
And on the right was the gold sand that had just been washed out, also piled up into a small hill, at least a few hundred kilograms.
Qiu Xiao's heart was completely trembling.
He could hardly breathe.
No wonder Xuan Wu Mansion could pay 800,000 gold coins at once.
They actually found such a super rich mine!
Next, he entered every house and saw that it was all gold.
Gold sand, gold nuggets, gold bars, gold coins.
There were tens of thousands of gold in the mine, which was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
How much gold was there in the whole mine?
Only God knew!
He had never seen or heard of such a rich mine.
My Qiu family is going to be rich, rich!
This gold mine is mine, belongs to my Qiu family.
Next, he would send a letter to his father, saying that he must take over Wangya Island at all costs.
What 50%?
No, he would take it all.
How could he be willing to give up half of such a huge gold mine?
The Raging Tide City was going to use up all of its resources and send an army of tens of thousands to annihilate the Kim Family. …
…
In the evening, Shen Lang landed on Wangya Island.
"Qiu Xiao is here?"
Xuanwu said, "He has been here for a few days, acting like a tyrant."
Shen Lang asked, "Has he been to the mine?"
Xuanwu said, "Yes, I have seen everything."
Shen Lang used all the gold to put on a show.
Therefore, this mine would definitely give Qiu Xiao an unprecedented shock.
He felt as if he was in a mountain of gold.
"He has already sent more than a dozen warriors to Raging Tide City, thinking that he did it secretly, letting these pirates swim a few miles away from Wangya Island before boarding the ship. Soon, Qiu Tianwei will receive a secret letter from his son."
Shen Lang was overjoyed, "I will treat Qiu Xiao to a drink tonight."
"This pig has finally fattened, it's time to kill him."
Xuanwu said, "Should I kill him alone, or …"
"Kill them all, kill two thousand pirates at once, kill them all, and give two thousand heads to Qiu Tianwei, it will definitely be shocking."
…
